My First Designer Manbag

[ThyAllMighty]

When I need to carry around a lot of things, I carry a backpack (either because I care about functionality more or I am fashionably uncouth), but I used to thinking about getting a smaller manbag with a shoulder strap.

This was because I used to have that mentallity too about carrying a fuckload of stuff in your pockets.

The other route to go though is to be more concious of the things you carry in your pockets, slimmer wallet, slim phones, small/thin pens, etc, etc.

I like to carry a military helmet bag, and for a man-bag it doesn't look so feminine. Not the camo though, that's a bit of overkill for me.

Current season Raf Simons (not the Eastpak ones) are soooo good. They look awful in photos but they're so great in real life. Not the best choice if you're into subtle colours though.

does anyone know of any nice mason bags?

Billykirk makes a couple sizes every season.

[onemancult]

a-z collection's are the best.

This one sufu seller awhile back was selling a Jas MB (i know not the best quality brand) messenger bag with this "X" type stitching on the back in a powder blue color. I mainly liked the shape and color. Any word on where i could find that? Kinda why i was interested in the S2A bag or that NDG one (that looks like asshole in upclose pictures) as they had that nice blue.

Why do you say this? I think my Jas MB bag is very high quality, nice leather, great hardware, riri zip etc. Have you had bad experiences with their stuff?

i use a porter laptop/briefcase thing... the big pockets make it pretty convenient to put ipod, phone, cigs, etc.

the best thing about it is that it doesn't make my wrists limp

i've been obsessed with canvas rucksacks/packs etc. in the past. what about something like this:

seen here

probably shitty quality canvas material and build but cant complain for the price. They also have a few other pretty workable packs floating around on their site.

i like this.

Ting of London

kinda ugly i guess but the recycled belt makes for some interesting detail...

has anyone seen the CdG bag that looks sort of like a briefcase...cant seem to find a pic but looks similar to this but in an all black leather.no zip.

only seen it in the ginza CdG...want to kop.

Porter brief for school. Holding up really well, plus formal enough to take to career fairs.

check out www.duluthpack.com. They're made for portage trips, but they look badass and are definitely the real deal. I have three different ones, the oldest of which is probably close to 50, and they're are zero holes. and made in duluth, mn.
